00:09The two blue circles in the drawing represent the existing fire hydrants.
00:15And we're going to draw a pipe network to represent the existing network.
00:20From surveys we've been told that the existing pressure pipe network has a six foot cover distance from the existing
00:28ground level.
00:29And we've been given the layout of the pipes represented by the dashed red line.
00:35To start drawing the pipe run we're going to right click on pressure networks from within the prospector tab.
00:42And click create pressure network by layout.
00:46We can then name the pressure network, pick a parts list, choose a reference surface and add the six foot
00:57cover level.
00:59We can then click OK to start drawing the network.
01:03We click once to start a pipe and then once to add a new joint.
01:10As you'll notice you're restricted to the angles that you can draw pipes at.
01:15These angles are determined by the joints that you have within your parts list.
01:21When we get to the curve we can type C and press enter which will then allow us to draw
01:27a curve.
01:29We then click once to set the start angle and we click again for the end of the pipe.
01:37We can then press S which will then allow us to go back to drawing straight pipes.
01:45Once we've finished our pipe run we can press enter to finish the run.
01:49We can keep outer center round.
01:50Set aside for the transmission Episode 2.
